We’re delighted to announce that Flexitricity is now live in the Balancing Mechanism - the most important market in flexible energy. We got off to a great start and have received two Bid Offer Acceptances (BOAs) to date! The new service will officially be launched on 31st October by Paul Wheelhouse MSP, Minister for Energy, Connectivity and the Islands.

Flexitricity’s CEO Ron Ramage, Head of Business Development Andy Lowe and Senior Business Development Manager Cameron Welsh will be answering any questions you have on monetizing battery storage projects in our next Q&A video - including accessing Balancing Mechanism, frequency response and Capacity Market revenue.

Demand response

OVO Energy and Flexitricity, along with a range of other flexibility providers and leading trade associations, have presented a letter to the Minister of State for Energy and Clean Growth Claire Perry, asking government to ensure that network companies are incentivised to procure flexibility rather than carry out network upgrades.

Events and webinars

We celebrated Flexitricity’s 10th operational birthday on 23rd June (read all about it in the Scotsman). It was a proud moment for all of us but especially for the man who started it all – Dr Alastair Martin.

Our solutions

Is the Balancing Mechanism (BM) the next big thing in flexible energy? We believe it is – for the foreseeable future. The most lucrative options shift as the energy landscape changes which means you need to be able to stay ahead of the curve to maximise your revenue. This applies to aggregators like Flexitricity as much as it does to energy users, generators and developers. As Mr Darwin so aptly put it: “It is not the strongest species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change.”

Demand response

The legacy grids are being renovated to smart grids using various flavours of sensing, communication, control and internet technologies. Demand response (DR) is one of the most successfully implemented mechanisms on the smart grid platform as it exists today. This has enabled the active participation of consumers in providing flexibility through grid balancing services (once the preserve of centralised generators) – thereby reducing costs and carbon.

Our solutions

“We’re going to shake up how the National Grid is balanced”. That was the cry from Flexitricity that piqued the attention of the industry when the company announced that it was to become an energy supplier. It’s a watershed moment, and who wouldn’t want to be part of that!

Business updates

OK, I admit it. Nearly fourteen years ago, when Flexitricity was born in my spare bedroom, I didn’t think I was setting up an electricity and gas supply business. I’ve been resisting the idea for most of the company’s history.
